"Oh, really?" Tsunade raised an eyebrow. Orochimaru, that guy, really admires the Fifth Hokage.

This sparked Tsunade's even greater interest.

Kabuto knocked on the door, and a voice inside said, "Come in." Then, the group filed into the Hokage's office.

Cao Ya quickly reviewed a document, looked up, and smiled brightly:

"The gathering of the three legendary ninjas is a great event for Konoha."

Tsunade glanced at the Hokage's office, pausing briefly at the Hokage's robes and hat before finally focusing on the Fifth Hokage, who was dressed casually. If it weren't for this place, there would be nothing to prove his identity as Hokage.

It seems Cao Ya had been preparing for this for a while...

Tsunade's eyes flickered slightly, and she laughed heartily:

"Five Dynasties, I've heard of you, but aren't you being a bit too hasty?"

There was no beating around the bush; they asked directly to my face.

Despite having the identity of a princess, Tsunade doesn't really care.

Before being moved by Naruto and pulling herself together, Tsunade didn't even care much about Konoha Village anymore.

Cao Ya remained calm, showing no emotional fluctuation, and said indifferently:

"Princess Tsunade is just as rumored, generous and forthright."

Similarly, instead of beating around the bush, they responded directly:

"In the past Warring States period, wars were never-ending, with ninja clans as the unit. After the establishment of ninja villages, the Shinobi World Wars also frequently broke out, with ninja villages as the unit. In just a few decades, three Shinobi World Wars broke out, resulting in countless deaths and injuries."

He added in his mind, "The Fourth Shinobi World War is already on its way."

“So…” Tsunade asked.

Cao Ya said in a deep voice:

"Unifying the ninja world is the only way to solve the problem. Even if there is division, it will eventually be unified. A hundred years of peace and a few decades of chaos are better than having a ninja world war break out every ten or twenty years."

Tsunade was quite skeptical:

"Are you sure there can be a hundred years of peace after unifying the ninja world? With so many countries, how could there not be conflict?"

This point is not only a concern for Tsunade, but also for Jiraiya, Shizune, and even Orochimaru, who all have some degree of doubt about it.

After all, the ninja world has never been unified.

The rule of Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, the "Goddess of the Rabbit" a thousand years ago, was a high-pressure rule that served her alone and did not belong to the people.

To resist the arrival of the Otsutsuki clan, Kaguya mass-produced White Zetsu and neglected national affairs; such a rule was certainly unacceptable.

Cao Ya understood their concerns. When Qin Shi Huang unified the six kingdoms, many people questioned it and even strongly advocated for the enfeoffment system and the abolition of the prefecture-county system. However, history has proven that Qin Shi Huang's decision was correct.

Kaguya Otsutsuki and the Sage of Six Paths couldn't become the Qin Emperor and complete the mission given to them by history, so Cao Ya will complete it.

Furthermore, this is not a universe that only exists in the ninja world; deep within the starry sky, the Otsutsuki are still wreaking havoc.

A thousand years ago, Kaguya Otsutsuki and Isshiki Otsutsuki came to the ninja world. Kaguya ambushed Isshiki, planted the Divine Tree, and guarded it alone. After the Chakra Fruit matured, it was supposed to be sent back to the Otsutsuki clan's territory deep in the starry sky as usual, but Kaguya chose to keep the Chakra Fruit for herself.

This transformed her into the "Goddess of the Rabbit," who ruled the ninja world with force and began to wage war against the arrival of the Otsutsuki clan.

Cao Ya is certain that the Otsutsuki clan will indeed descend upon the ninja world in the future.

In the future, a unified ninja world will unleash far greater potential than a divided one.

Moreover, for ordinary people, a capable government would certainly be better than the current situation.

Those famous figures and nobles, none of them cared about the life and death of ordinary people.

They're just lowly people, what does it matter if a few die?

From any perspective, Cao Ya had to push for the decision to unify the ninja world.

"After the ninja villages were established, were there still so many wars between the various ninja clans?" Cao Ya asked rhetorically.

Tsunade was taken aback for a moment, then immediately understood what Cao Ya meant.

During the Warring States period, the ninja clans were embroiled in years of warfare. After the establishment of ninja villages, the ninja clans banded together for mutual support, and wars between ninja clans ceased. Instead, world wars broke out between nations and ninja villages.

What if national barriers also disappeared?

"This..." Tsunade frowned. She really couldn't say what the situation would be like.

After all, there is no historical precedent to follow.

Jiraiya, Orochimaru, Kabuto Yakushi, and Shizune were all pondering this question, their faces showing deep thought.

Only Naruto and Karin didn't think that much about it; instead, they felt bored.

Naruto approached the desk, eagerly volunteering:

"Fifth Hokage, quickly issue me a mission! I want to carry out an A-rank mission! I want to become a Chunin!"

Cao Ya couldn't help but laugh. He had almost forgotten that Orochimaru had sabotaged the Chunin Exams, resulting in only the Nara clan kid becoming a Chunin while everyone else failed. Later, after Orochimaru took over, he reformed the Chunin system, and during this period, some Genin were promoted to Chunin one after another.

Only Naruto, because he went out with Jiraiya, is still a genin.

Naruto muttered to himself:

"Sasuke is probably still a genin, right?"

Upon hearing Sasuke's name, Karin's expression turned into one of infatuation; she clasped her hands together, her eyes sparkling with hearts.

"Sasuke is already a Special Jonin, and so am I. We're such a good match."

As she spoke, she shyly cupped her face, blushing deeply.

Naruto, however, paid no attention to Karin's expression. The words "Special Jonin" echoed in his mind, and he froze on the spot.

Cao Ya smiled slightly:

"Naruto, keep it up! Don't fall behind Sasuke."

He knew that Naruto would get incredibly excited whenever Sasuke was mentioned.

Sure enough, Naruto instantly mustered his strength, his eyes almost blazing with fire, clenched his right fist, and raised his head, saying:

"I will not lose to that arrogant Sasuke. I have mastered a lot of abilities now, and I will definitely be stronger than Sasuke!"

Karin's expression instantly changed, and she glared at Naruto with a fierce look:

"What?"

Naruto wiped his nose with his right index finger, revealing a bright smile:

"Karin, just you wait and see."

Karin just snorted, but she also knew that Naruto had super potential and might not necessarily lose to Sasuke.

One is a member of my clan, the other is someone I admire. If they were to fight, I really wouldn't know who to support.

Naruto isn't cool at all, and he's not handsome either... Sasuke is way more handsome and cool...

Karin's heart-shaped eyes.

Cao Ya shook his head and chuckled. He would focus on training the Konoha Twelve and the young people Orochimaru brought from Konoha.

Leaving aside Naruto and Sasuke, who are destined twins, there are also Kimimaro, Jugo, Karin, Kabuto Yakushi, as well as Rock Lee, Neji, Tenten, Hinata, Sakura, Ino, Shikamaru, Choji, and others who all have the potential to become elite Jonin.

Kimimaro, Neji, and Lee, given the opportunity, could even reach the threshold of Kage-level.

These young people should certainly be nurtured, and he treats them all equally without discrimination.

Those who enter Konoha become Konoha people.

Naruto and Sasuke are the reincarnations of Ashura and Indra, respectively. They are at least at the Kage level, and can even handle the Six Paths level.

Cao Ya doesn't plan to interfere too much with the two of them.
